I have had it a couple of times in my pregnancy, lasting for several days. Try eating bananas, apples (apple sauce), rice or toast ( called the BRAT). That helped somewhat for me. Make sure to drink a lot of fluids. It can happen because of your hormones.

I have also had it for most of my pregnancy, on and off. I talked to my doctor and he is sending me to a GI specialist for testing. He said its probably nothing to worry about, but he wants to make sure it's not a malabsorption issue or a prolonged virus - he gave me a name of some virus, but I forgot it. He thought might be milk, so I cut out dairy, but with no luck. I need to make an appointment still.
